But that’s not entirely fair when Jason Arntz is in the mix. The New Jersey native may not be the flashy kind, but comes in to every contest in the best of condition. He is basically an automatic top six in the 202 division and has certainly found a home competing in the lighter class.

“I don’t get too far out of shape,” said Arntz. “For me, walking around at 225 pounds, it’s not too heavy for me. I still got to get down to 202, but I’m a lean 225 pounds.”

That will get easier for Arntz and the rest of the division when it changes to 212 and under this fall. Sure, the other guys play by the same rules, but someone who comes in as dry and ripped as Arntz does will certainly benefit from the flexibility of adding some size.

With the loaded line-up in Las Vegas, Arntz persevered and placed sixth. It may be one place lower than the previous year, but Arntz has a lot to build on as the 202…we mean 212, is being held at more and more pro shows every calendar year.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Look for our Jason Arntz feature coming up in the Winter 2012 edition of MuscleSport Magazine

Its still up in the air waiting for the contract with MD but here is yet another trailer for the “Ramblin Freak” TV show. Gregg Valentino is the most popular columnist in the sport of Bodybuilding with 2 columns in Muscular Development magazine.

Take a sneak peek at one of the trailers that Gregg has put together to introduce the show to the fans:

This show will be a combination of the serious and not so serious side of the sport of bodybuilding. Anyone can do a Q&A session with a pro, but how many can do it the way Gregg can?
